Why don't the Clippers try to have their own identity?

Los Angeles is Lakers town and having the Clippers hanging out there is just asinine IMO.It's like big brother and little geeky brother. Sad also that Lakers have to share their stadium with them. LOL.
IDK maybe move this team to another state, city ? To just start all over ..build their own individual history.
*Waits for rabid Fans to jump down my throat*

LA is too big a market for Donald to ever move the team. This is an owner that only cares about making money, not about wins. There are a million teams that would want to play in LA, I don't see the Clippers ever moving so long as they maintain the same ownership. I appreciate the fact that you feel the need to be a troll but that's the real reason. And they do have their own individual history, they used to be the Buffalo Braves.

Well, Sterling is eventually gonna die. And depending on who his successor is(maybe his wife), if they end up selling the team, the Clips could possibly move out of LA. I wouldn't mind if they moved to Anaheim.

As much as Clipps fans wouldn't mind that to happen, I just don't see it. They are one of the top profiting teams in the NBA in a top 3 national market, and why mess with that? Maybe the new owner would actually decide that he wants this team to win all the time though.

There's no reason to move to be honest. Owners are in the league to make money. Sterling or any future owner of the team will continue to make money here whether they win or lose because, like people have already posted, LA is a huge market. As crappy as our team has been they've apparently posted profits while sucking. Just think how much more money they'd make if they actually had an owner who wanted to win? They may spend more, but revenue will rise as well. You just can't.. "lose" in an area like this.
